Re: Suggest an Intermission!

how about an episode discussing the different studios releasing, and then re-releasing multiple versions of a single movie on dvd/bluray. Example:  Watchmen(single disc blu ray "Director's Cut")  and then, months later releasing the 4 disc "Ultimate Cut".
I'ld be very interested in hearing others discuss how they feel about this, and when they feel ok buying a new movie.
Is it ok to buy this movie 3 times, if it's a movie that deserves the recognition ? is it simply the studio milking the audience for more money ?!

Please discuss.  wink

Re: Suggest an Intermission!

How about an intermission which discusses the film scores and the way they affect the films.
Many films have fantastic scores, and they enhance the films. Example: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jaws,
the Pirates of the Caribbean movies...... and many many more.
You guys could discuss how a certain film would suffer/benefit from having a score from a particular composer.
Example: Batman(1989) if the score was done by someone other than Danny Elfman.

Re: Suggest an Intermission!

Thanks for all the suggestions, sir. This list is useful to have.

We do have a conversation about Danny Elfman and Batman in the first few minutes of Batman Returns, in the meantime.

Re: Suggest an Intermission!

I own the region 2 Back to the Future trilogy dvds then I got the region 1 dvds for the commentaries that were missing from the one I already had. Then Christmas 2010 I got the Blu Ray set from my mum. That was the same year I got the Alien movies Blu Rays and the Lethal Weapon Blu Rays which I already had on dvd (except the thrid and fourth Alien films). My mum bought me a lot of Blu Rays that year, which is awesome.

I also own the region 1 and 2 versions of Who Framed Roger Rabbit because the r2 disc has no extras.

Re: Suggest an Intermission!

How about something along the lines of a "Where are they now?" topic.
I was recently watching the bluray for "Adventures of Baron Munchausen" ... and in the special features, there is an interview with Eric Idle. He basically ends up saying that he's fed-up with the Hollywood system, and that's why he doesn't like doing films anymore.
I'm sure that there are many other actors/actresses who have just decided to pull the plug on Hollywood.
Is this interesting enough to anyone besides myself ?!

I don't think you could ever say any of the Python guys were ever IN the Hollywood system, at least not long enough to get fed-up with it (apart from the usual wanting control of whatever they're involved in, and not getting it). That said, a look at those who did bolt would be interesting, as well as those who came in late after making their mark elsewhere.

Re: Suggest an Intermission!

...and how about an episode dedicated to talking about directors and their bodies of work.
there are some directors who have built an amazing catalog of films that when you watch, you think: "oh yeah. this is definitely _____!"
examples:
James Cameron,
Ridley Scott,
Tony Scott,
Chris Nolan,
Guy Ritchie ........ etc...
What do you guys think ?!?!?!

Re: Suggest an Intermission!

Same goes for Nolan really. Not quite sure what else there is to be said about him that wasn't covered in Prestige, Dark Knight or Inception.

I guess memento, but I think they kinda get into that in inception don't they?

Although that list reminding me of Ridley Scott. I'm so pumped for Prometheus. Thats gonna be a helluva thing. Might be a good time to bring up the career of one Ridley Scott. It is only a month away.
